“…”

“…”

“Hmmmm…”

The outcome of the game was disastrous.

“What are you!”

In-hwan looked at the performance as if it was ridiculous, and Seong-hyeon was the same.

“What, what! Is there any problem?”

“This is a limited edition of 10 all over the world, so why are they doing so well?”

“Ooh, I was just lucky.”

For several hours, Seong-hyeon and In-hwan could not win a single match against Sang-yeon.

The first 1:1:1 as well as the 2:1 after that.

“Now, let’s stop playing and eat.”

After playing the game like crazy, it was already time for lunch.

I’m going to eat. They were all around the house anyway, and the two of them sat down on the sofa again after a simple meal.

“By the way, didn’t you oppose entering the academy? Normally, I would be reluctant to be in this kind of environment.”

To Sang-yeon’s question, In-hwan brought canned beer and placed it in front of each of them, sat down on the sofa and answered.

“It’s a warning to live the way you want to live… It’s a business, my brother will inherit it, and I’m just living my life according to my will.”

“That is quite a blessing.”

Sung-hyeon also agreed with Sang-yeon’s answer.

To be honest, most people who grew up in such an environment had problems such as receiving difficult expectations and not being able to choose the path they wanted, but this was not a problem for Inhwan.

“right. i think so too. Except for being a little lonely, I can really live my life the way I want to.”

“It’s a little hard to understand that I’m lonely with my parents.”

Sang-yeon smiled a little disappointed.

“I wonder what it would be like if it hadn’t been there from the beginning. If I didn’t know anything, I wouldn’t have missed you.”

“…”

“Or if I met Sunghyun a little earlier, I would think like this. Of course, I wouldn’t have been able to at that time.”

Just as the atmosphere was about to get a little heavy, Inhwan turned on the TV with the remote control.

On the TV screen, there were several views of what looked like a house.

“What kind of house…”

This time, Seonghyeon also looked at the screen with a startled expression.

It looked like it was filmed with CCTV, but on the screen divided into 12 places, it was awkward to call it a house, such as a movie theater, a swimming pool, or a gym.

“How about swimming after watching a movie and digesting it?”

“Isn’t it a bit cold for swimming?”

As Sangyeon said, it was almost winter, and the weather was cold for swimming.

“it’s okay. It’s an indoor pool. let’s go. Because the movie will play a sensible thing.”

Inhwan looked more excited than usual.

It seemed like it was the first time that someone he could call a friend came to his house to play.

“good night.”

“okay. let’s go.”

After watching two movies and swimming for a while, the sun went down in no time.

Now all that’s left is to fill the hungry stomach.

As I said at the beginning, I was going to have a simple barbecue party, but when I came out after swimming, the ingredients and other necessary things were already prepared.

“I didn’t know what kind of meat I would like, so I prepared everything first.”

When I opened the refrigerator right next to the terrace, as Inhwan said, the refrigerator was full of all kinds of meat.

“…good night.”

“…good.”

Seonghyeon chose beef and Sanghyeon chose pork and sat down at the table with a slightly reminded expression.

“Wow…”

Until recently, I was obsessed with meat, and the area around the terrace on the roof of the building was truly spectacular.

It was the time of the evening, so the glittering street in the dark sky was so beautiful that I thought that it might be the sky over there.

Of course, if I became a part of it, I wouldn’t feel it at all as beautiful, but I wanted to leave it as a comedy to be seen from afar, at least for this moment.

“Thanks to you, I have a good view and experience.”

Perhaps he liked what Seong-hyeon said, and In-hwan-do sat next to him and looked at the same scenery.

“Come anytime.”

“hey. Kang In-hwan. How do you cook this meat?”

Sang-yeon continued to look around the strange-looking device.

“It’s a baking machine. You just have to put it inside the pork and set it according to the meat and parts.”

“…there’s nothing wrong with it.”

In-hwan personally set up such a machine for a performance that is difficult to touch, and then returned to his seat.

“Sung Hyun-ah.”

“yes?”

“Where is the goal?”

“target?”

In-hwan’s expression was a little serious.

It was as if he would just nod his head no matter what goal he said.

“I never thought of a goal…”

“What? really?”

Inhwan’s expression changed to a surprised expression in an instant.

To be honest, with Seonghyeon’s ability, he could have created a large guild rather than entering it.

It may still be a little behind in terms of combat, but if you look at the growth it has shown so far, it seems that it will be achieved in an instant.

Creating a large guild was not a simple task, but with sufficient support, it was not impossible.

And more than half of that support had already been achieved.

‘With our support…’

“Rather than a goal, just instinct? There is one such thing.”

“Instinct?”

“Just… to get rid of all the beasts.”

Although the direction we are heading has changed a bit these days, the way to the destination has changed, not the destination.

“Oh… that was a bigger goal than creating a large guild?”

At Seonghyeon’s words, Inhwan showed a light smile with a confident expression on his face.

I don’t know the meaning of it, but it seems to have solved one of my worries.

“Oh, that’s it. let’s eat.”

At Sangyeon’s call, the three ate pork first.

I was a little worried that it was machine baked, but it tasted much better than the human baked one.

“Is it delicious? Spices are also sprinkled on the meat according to the cut and type of meat.”

Seonghyeon barely nodded and looked at the scenery again.

Have you ever felt this kind of relaxation even a little bit before your return?

It made me think that it was strange and sad that I lived in the past without knowing at all this time, this spectacle that I could only see if I came to a high place.

“What are you looking at with such burning eyes?”

Sang-yeon, who was seated next to Seong-hyeon and In-hwan with a plate of meat, also looked down at the street full of lights and seemed to be speechless.

A landscape unobstructed by anything.

There were plenty of buildings taller than 20 stories high, but there were probably not many who could look down like Seonghyeon now.

“It’s not bad to have a spare like this.”

Sangyeon seemed to be enjoying the present time.

To the extent that it seems unfamiliar to have a faint smile on her face.

‘…Well?’

Seong-hyeon, who looked down on the city view like that, focused his eyes on the alleyway right next to the building where he was now.

The height of the 20th floor wasn’t low, but it wasn’t high enough that people couldn’t see it.

‘what?’

In the alleyway, a man lost his strength and sat down, leaning against the wall.

For some reason, I felt more like I was lying down rather than sitting.

I didn’t want to lose time after a long time, but I kept thinking of losing strength enough to feel it here.

“I’m going out for a moment.”

“suddenly?”

“Just wait. Just ten minutes?”

“Yeah what. Call me before I go up. In order to take the elevator, I have to approve it from above.”

“yes.”

Seonghyeon immediately put on her walking clothes and went outside.

It was so busy that I couldn’t feel it was a beautiful street that I had just looked down on, and Seong-hyeon went straight into the alley where he had found a person.

After turning a few roads and going inside, an alley with almost no people appeared.

‘What a smell…’

A slightly fishy smell seemed to sting my nose, so I moved a little more hastily, and finally found the girl lying on the wall, leaning against the wall.

But it wasn’t just the figure of a powerless person.

Along with that, the blood that flowed from her wrist was explaining why the girl was like this instead.

“…”

For a moment, Seonghyeon paused, but he didn’t hesitate.

Have you not met someone who has already had a similar experience?

Seonghyeon went straight to the side of the girl who had collapsed and checked.

‘I’m not dead yet.’

He was only unconscious, and his life was not affected.

Of course, since it was about the time I was treated right now, I was going to heal the girl’s hand right away, but the girl came to her senses and said, looking at Seong-hyeon.

“Are you also… that kind of person?”

“yes?”

“…Please go.”

The girl turned her pale face to the side and turned away from Seonghyeon.

It seemed like he already knew what his end was like.

It may be a useless commotion, but since I’ve already witnessed it, I couldn’t help it.

This isn’t for the girl, it’s for Seonghyeon.

In order not to leave any sense of guilt, Seong-hyeon healed the girl’s hand.

“…”

The girl, who had been turning her gaze, looked at her wrist, startled by the feeling of warmth surrounding her cold wrist.

In the meantime, the wrist was healed cleanly without a single scar.

But that’s all, the apparent wounds were healed, and the cause of the wounds engraved on their own had not yet changed.

“Thank you…thank you…Please go now…”

Obviously, the strength returned to the body.

But he never had the courage to leave this alleyway.

Sunghyun did not leave the seat.

Sung-hyun, who was thinking about what he could do in the same situation, immediately thought of Jeong-hwa’s ability.

[Purification: Purifies all unclean things on the target.]

What is equivalent to being unclean?

Wouldn’t that state, which is difficult to even measure, be considered unclean?

‘purification.’

For a moment, the girl could get a warm feeling that had just turned around on her wrist.

But it’s a different kind of warmth.

“cool. I think you are a good person.”

It just felt warm, but the cause of this has not changed.

‘It will be a little late.’

Seonghyeon sat down next to the girl without saying anything.

Then he didn’t say anything.

About 5 minutes later, the girl spoke to Seong-hyeon first.

“Who is your uncle?”

“He’s just an ordinary guy.”

“…Thank you, Mister.”

This short conversation was the only conversation we had, but Seong-hyeon could tell.

I don’t think this girl would ever do something like this again.

“Where is your home?”

“Hey, there’s nothing like that.”

There seemed to be quite a few stories.

Seonghyeon reached out to the girl without asking any more questions.

“…?”

“Shall we go eat something delicious?”

“I was taught not to follow a guy like that…”

The girl said so and burst into laughter.

Then he grabbed Seonghyun’s hand and stood up.

I couldn’t explain it to Inhwan and Sangyeon, but I still couldn’t leave the girl on the street in this weather.

‘Because they are not friends to turn down.’

I can’t take responsibility for the future, but I thought that a warm meal of the day would be okay, no more, no less.
